I interviewed the brilliant and extremely offline writer Alex sammartino about his debut novel last acts for Cleveland Review of Books

If you're in DC on Tuesday, come to the Cleveland Review of Books/Washington Review of Books crossover episode, where I will be reading from my new manuscript for the first time in public eventbrite.com/e/wrb-presents…

Then I realized “Damn, that’s fucked up” and ruminated, chewed on grass like a lilac cow in the Alps.

I got to write about one of my favorite poetry collections and what it’s meant for me as a bby drag queen in an increasingly hostile state. Much thanks to the fabulous editors and to taylor dorrell for the advice ✨🪩

'Wo’s is a drag poetics, intentionally unearthing all the unexamined bits of personhood, nature, and language itself in a sizzling burst of sequins.'

Cleveland Review of Books fiction is up and running! A wistful, quietly phantasmic story today by Cora Lewis

“We can break the fourth wall. We’re writers—we do that.”

“I’m not that kind of writer,” I said.

One story from Cora Lewis

'Our definitions of awe are about an experience of something “greater” than humanness; something to be fearful of. I don’t know that I have experienced actual awe. I’m also not sure I believe that it is something to seek.'

In Cleveland Review of Books, olga mikolaivna reviews a collection on language. In The Critic, @owen_andy reviews a memoir about cricket. Plus, as always, much more of all the links, commentary, poetry, and miscellanea that you know and love— read now!

So happy to have a new essay out in Cleveland Review of Books about Detroit — a city that means so much to me.

I’m so thankful to the CRB editorial team for their care with my work (and very sad this essay did not align with a better season from the Pistons, but alas).
